We cure our fish with a special mix of spices including peppercorns before smoking it at a high temperature. Rich, flavourful salmon smoked to perfection with a bite of pepper!

This is the highlight of your next meal or event. Nothing beats that hot smoked flavour of Wild Albacore Tuna.

Family Spirit

St. Jean’s Cannery began operating in Nanaimo, B.C. in 1961. Formed by Quebec native (and former professional wrestler!) Armand St. Jean, the business is now operated by his son Gerard, working alongside his brother Paul. Gerard’s son Dave has come aboard to stretch the family business connection across three generations.

Armand’s wife Betty–at 93 years young!–still stops by the cannery on a regular basis to deliver home-baked goods and the latest Sudoku games (Gerard’s favourite!) from the local newspaper.
